As reported by Boise State Public Radio: NeighborWorks Boise is piloting a program to provide more affordable housing

NeighborWorks Boise is a local nonprofit that helps people find affordable housing. They created a program called HomeShare Hub last fall, a possible solution to the local housing crisis.

Many solutions have been proposed to ease the housing crisis, like building more homes for those who have recently moved to Boise and are looking to buy.

Other groups have started to take a slightly different approach by focusing on meeting the needs of renters.

“It’s really trying to maximize space and housing that already exists within the community, and then the fact that it ideally would benefit not only one household, but two parties that are involved in the home share,” said Inga Hadder, the director of communication and engagement at NeighborWorks Boise.
